Tomlin very pleased with DeMarcus Van Dyke

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said former Raiders cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke “has been an awesome surprise for us.”

“He has done a nice job for us, man,” Tomlin said. “He’s added some quality plays for us, just in two ballgames. He downed a punt in Denver on the 1-yard line. He prevented a ball from getting downed at the 1-yard line for us last week. He blew up a punt return and that created a turnover. He’s really just beginning the process of acclimating himself to the defense and hopefully he can be an asset there as well.”

Tomlin said “we don’t care what happened with (Van Dyke)” in Oakland. “He has done a nice job working, and is diligent and detailed.”
